Coach Morena Ramoreboli will name his final squad on Sunday evening during a send-off dinner organised for the team.

The Zebras have not played a competitive match since a 2-2 draw against Guinea on October 14 in a dead rubber World Cup qualifier.

The team returns to action against Jwaneng Galaxy, the first and only match on home soil before the Zebras fly to Tunisia for their final training camp.

'The team is leaving on Monday for a training camp in Tunisia, where they are expected to be in Morocco on December 18,' BFA CEO, Mfolo Mfolo, said.

The BFA has not mentioned the names of Zebras' opponents for friendly matches while in Tunisia, although both Mfolo and Ramoreboli previously indicated the team will be involved in preparatory encounters.

On allowances, Mfolo said all issues will be finalised before the tournament kicks off. In the past, there have been revolts over unpaid allowances, with the latest coming in September before the Algeria match at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium.

'For incentives, the BNSC has a prescribed incentive schedule for participation at each tournament according to its grade. As for other incentives, it will depend on our campaign as we bring other partners on board,' he said.

'But before the first game against Senegal, all these matters will be finalised.

'We are working closely with the FUB (Footballers Union of Botswana), more especially on the code of conduct for the players,' he said.
